Uremia

Question: how widespread is the disease uremia?

Answer: What do u mean how widespread it is? I didn't realize that it is widespread. Uremia happens when you have an imbalance with your electrolytes. this usually happens to people with kidney failure. The kidney is essential for maintaining the body's acid and electrolyte balance. Once your kidney is damaged, this can lead to an increase of your urea in the blood thus will lead to a condition called uremia. I don't think uremia is a disease per se but it is a disease process.

Question: Untreated Uremia? If untreated, uremia will result in the excretion of metabolic wastes through other organs within the body. Which ones and what wastes are excreted from them in a healthy individual? I've been looking ALL over the internet and can't find anything useful.

Answer: In kidney failure, urea and other waste products, which are normally excreted into the urine, are retained in the blood. Early symptoms include anorexia and lethargy, and late symptoms can include decreased mental acuity and coma. Urea is a substance produced by the liver and transported to the kidneys to be excreted from the body in the urine. From a medical perspective, urea is simply a poison containing nitrogen which must be eliminated from the body. Edgar Cayce recognized that urea in excess is toxic to the body but asserted that a certain amount of urea was necessary in the blood to assist with various functions such as coagulation and wound healing. The readings contain numerous examples of both kinds of urea imbalance, low and high.

Question: is uremia hereditary? in 1996, my best friend's mum died of uremia at the age of 45 or so; 6 years later my friend herself died of this disease too when she was only 26. my own mum died of this disease exactly 2 years ago and it seemed that her father also suffered from the same disease (and other diseases) before he died (he was 75 then). so is this dreadful disease hereditary? i've searched on the web via Google but some pages were not accessible; others were full of medical jargon that i never understand...

Answer: I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I researched it @ wikipedia.org and didn't see anything that says uremia is hereditary. This is what I did find.... Uremia is a toxic condition resulting from renal failure, when kidney function is compromised and urea, a waste product normally excreted in the urine, is retained in the blood. Uremia can lead to disturbances in the platelets and hypersomnia, among other effects. Besides renal failure, the level of urea in the blood can also be increased by: increased production of urea in the liver, due to: high protein diet increased protein breakdown (surgery, infection, trauma, cancer) gastrointestinal bleeding drugs (e.g. tetracyclines and corticosteroids) decreased elimination of urea, due to: decreased blood flow through kidney (e.g. hypotension, cardiac failure) urinary outflow obstruction dehydration Wish you nothing but the best, and stay healthy.

Question: which condition is the result of crystalization of salts in the urine? a. nephritis b. uremia c. kidney stones d. cystitis

Answer: c. kidney stones is the most likely though all four may be inter-connected. If the crystals form in the pelvis (center) of the kidney you could develop small or very large stones with urate crystals or calcium. Most crystals in the urine are harmlessly dissolved in the urine and pass out every day with the urine.

Question: Can I get the sheet music for "The River flows out of me"? By Uremia? Get it? I know I will get reported but it was worth it.

Answer: Yes, you can get special 'I can't be bothered to learn to read music' tabs FOR FREE. Uremia is a robot who doesn't need food, water, a place to live or need to travel anywhere so he doesn't need to be paid. He puts all his music on a website in simplified versions so even morons can try and thump it out on a piano or twang it our on a guitar. I think it's the prettiest song ever written I'm 13 and a girlie.

Question: What is Kimmelshel-Wilson Syndrome? It may be a rarely used term for the disease.? This was listed as a cause of death, along with Diabetes Mellitus, followed by the last cause, Uremia.

Answer: Nephrotic syndrome and hypertension in diabetics associated with diabetic glomerulosclerosis. In english, kidney failure with wasting of protein out of the kidney/urine and high blood pressure in a patient who already had some kidney problems because of their diabetes.

Question: What disease is this? Can you help me with this hw assignment. I need to diagnose this "patient" and lists tests that helped me diagose it and include an outline of the procedure I can follow in accpmplishing this task. Here is the question.. "Your patient is extremly overweight. They are experiencing the most common inherited disease related to this organ. This organ is not doing it's job and is causing uremia. This disease is prgressive and ultimatly fatal. Identify this disease and the organ it affects." I was thinking chronic kidney disease but I am not sure. Please help!

Answer: Well because they're overweight it could be anything including the heart or pancreas (possible type II diabetes). However, I would say possible kidney disease because anything that has to do with urine problems usually has to do with the kidney. Kidney disease is usually inherited; heart problems and type II diabetes are too, but can be caused by being overweight. Word of advice though, next time you ask a homework question on Y!A, either post it in the homework section, or if you put it in the health section don't mention it's a homework question :)
